Demand for medical polymers is estimated to be high in North America and Europe; however, the developed regions are expected to lose their market shares to developing economies of Asia Pacific and Rest of the World due to significant demand for medical polymers in these regions.

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2015 -- The medical polymers market comprises resins and fibers, elastomers and biodegradable plastics that are used in various healthcare applications such as equipment and devices, packaging and tissue engineering. Polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene are the commonly used fibers and resins in the medical industry. Thermoplastic elastomers and rubber latex make up the elastomers segment of the medical polymers market. Biodegradable plastics such as PLA and PEEK are used increasingly due to stringent regulations by authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Growth in emerging economies of Asia Pacific in the medical polymers market is another important factor that is likely to boost product sales over the next few years. Medical polymers are used in the manufacture of devices and equipment in the medical & healthcare segment. Polymers such as polyethylene are used in medical packaging, while polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is used in tissue engineering. Demand for these materials is high in the medical polymers market.
